I love the sound of the word "continuum", plus it has the double u and is positive and forward looking...

I've always suspected that Antonio Banderas could look like an elderly Peter Lorre, and still get girls with the sound of his name: "I am... Antonio Banderas."

Thu, February 22, 2007 - 8:12 AMIf I had a little girl, I'd name her Chlamydia. It sounds so classical and regal.
And she'd have a sister, Gonorrhea, for that Shakespearean resonance--like Goneril. -

Re: nice sounding words
Mon, March 19, 2007 - 5:49 PMWell, since non-english words have been broken out....
"Ĉu" is a good one. Sounds like the English word "chew" and is all it takes to turn an Esperanto sentence into a yes/no question.
"Puissance" - French for "power". Actually, most French words that end in "ance" sound nice.
"Chinga" - Spanish curse word (fuck)
"Gesundheit" - German for "Health"
And to finish up in English: "doodle"
